On The Book Review, John Williams mentioned Colm Tóibín's novel while discussing a later book by the same author, noting that he personally loved the work about Henry James. Pamela Paul also brought up the earlier novel during an interview on The Book Review, acknowledging it as a prominent entry in the author's bibliography. John Williams referenced the 2004 book a second time on The Book Review while drawing thematic comparisons to the author's subsequent work concerning the life of Thomas Mann. Separately, Jordan Peterson asked guest Matt Taibbi on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast whether he had read The Master and Margarita in the original Russian, playfully engaging with a title similarity.
